PRISM

The long-awaited third album by Katy is her BEST yet! Invest in the Deluxe Version, you'll be glad you did! It's Fun, Sexy, Cheeky, Clever, Heartfelt and Deeply Personal! You will love it, the very first time you listen! EVERY song is a potential hit! You can't say that about her prior work. I have to tell you, Katy had a lot to live up to, although she said she wasn't trying to outdo herself, well, she just did! Track synopsis: 1. Roar*. A new anthem about female empowerment. We've all heard it. Even my elderly friend knew this one! Love the video, so cute, colorful and clever! The album's FIRST #1 song! (hear that GaGa?) 2. Legendary Lovers*. Wishing for that great love. Like those of legend, like Cleopatra. Love the tribal chant. "Aah, ooh"! 3. Birthday*. The first song I really gravitated toward. Listen closely to its subliminal message, it's not about treating him like every day's his birthday! The "love child" of California Gurls and Peacock! lol. Cheeky, fun and bouncy! "So let me get you in your birthday suit. It's time to bring out the big balloons!" (I can already see all the balloons coming out of her top from behind-!) A great song of celebration for the New Year. The 3rd release. Hear that Katy? 4. Walking on Air*. It's an instant club hit! Simple and infectious, a feeling of ecstasy in the ultimate love! (do I hear a Mariah note in the bridge?) Katy was said to emulate the queens of the 90's (like CeCe). 5. Unconditionally*. As of this writing, her current release destined to become the album's 2nd #1 hit! Accepting someone for whom they are. "Acceptance is the key to be totally free. Will you do the same for me?" Words to live by, wish I'd heard them sooner! 6. Dark Horse* (feat. Juicy J). Enticing! I have to tell you, I didn't like this one at first, now I absolutely love it! A Hip Hop dream! Even the rap is clever and enjoyable. "Once you're mine, there's no goin' back." I guess she's gonna get you with this one just like the familiar phrase implies. The song all of America is gravitating toward. (the 4th release?, if not 3rd) 7. This is How We Do*. A face paced clever, cheeky hit! The Song of the Summer 2014, so move over Miley! The ultimate party song. "It's NO BIG DEAL"...Tamer than, but not unlike Last Friday Night/TGIF..."suckin' real bad at 'Mariah Careyoke", lol! Ill bet Mariah's lovin' that!..."Uh huh, I see you!" lol I laugh every time! (release #6, just in time for summer-?) 8. International Smile*. THE stand out of the album for me! Great bass line, totally infectious! I dare you to listen to it just once!OMG, listen closely. It's actually about an international flight attendant friend of Katy's who gets everyone to join the Mile High Club! lol 9. Ghost. From my most favorite song, to my least favorite song. Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. It's a very poignant song about break up--by text! It reminds me of 'The One that Got Away', her first fall from #1 on "Dream". Cleverly executed, as if it were a loss: "Rest in peace, I'll see you on the other side." NOW she "sees-thru" him! 10. Love Me*. I love this one! Loving yourself when the one you loved didn't give you the love and respect you deserve. (#5-?) 11. This Moment. Learning to live in the moment by seizing the day. 'Thumpety'! 12. Double Rainbow*. The unofficial title track, it's lyrically stunning! It's even sung with vulnerable emotion! Walking a like path through life with your soul mate. Although it applies to everyone, I see it as a big Gay Anthem during Pride. "A double rainbow is hard to find...every step, I'm keeping you in mine". 13. By the Grace of God. Very Powerful and Emotional! Oh My God. This song is autobiographical! What? We almost lost Katy? She survived a suicide attempt! "I wasn't so tough, lying on the bathroom floor...I looked in the mirror and decided to stay. Wasn't gonna let love take me out, that way...Every morning, there is no more mourning." A very low key, piano driven, yet powerfully orchestrated song. A hard song for anyone who relates. One of her greatest songs ever! But, is it commercial? From the Deluxe Version: (a critic wrote that these are the most forgettable songs on the album, when they're the BEST!) 14. Spiritual. WOW! This song is Magical and Spellbinding! I'm absolutely hooked! THE ultimate, most deeply spiritual relationship. Channeling her inner Sarah McLachlan! lol. Katy, "you make me float"! Will it be like 'A Part of Me' and become a separate release to get people to buy this extended version? (not to mention another #1 hit!) 15. It Takes Two. Honest and vulnerable. Admitting it takes two to blame, and to apologize. Both of you have to want to work on a relationship. (Yeah, again--words of wisdom, too late! lol) Hmm--do you hear Kelly Clarkson on the bridge? lol 16. Choose Your Battles. Wow--powerful! "Why are you trying to make me your enemy? All I really need is a little peace. I just want to be your lover. Oh, this is not a competition, so baby why the ammunition? I don't want to be the last one standing. Choose your battles babe, then you win the war. Stop digging your own grave when there's so much to live for." Enough said. Words to live by. Even the music sounds like a back and forth battle. Great execution Katy! Love it--but is it too intensely personal to be a commercial hit? *denotes (future--hopeful) releases

I loved Katy Perry right when she came out with her first album. Then the very famous album Teenage Dream came out. That album was really great. So of course I would want to listen to PRISM. These are my thoughts of each track: 1. Roar - (5/5) This is a great empowerment track. Of course this is a Katy Classic. This is catchy and is a nice car jam song. 2. Legendary Lovers - (5/5) This song is cool because it almost has tribal vibes. The fast sing rap is pretty amazing to. She is talking about relationships and saying that the relationship she is in could be legendary. Great song. 3. Birthday - (5/5) Another good track. I Know it is a typical sex song. It is catchy though. 4. Walking On Air - (5/5) This is another cool track. A lot of dance vibes. Katy songs good on this song. Instead of her using her belting on this song, she uses breathy vocals. 5. Unconditionally - (4/5) I like the chorus, and meaning of this song. The beat is cool to, this is not a favorite, but I still like the song. 6. Dark Horse (Feat. Juicy J) - A great trap style beat. High energy, and clearly was a favorite for most people when it came out. 7. This Is How We Do - (3/5) There is a part of me that likes the song and a part of me that doesn't. It is catchy, but there is some weak lyrics. 8. International Smile - (4/5) Not a favorite but it is catchy. And the switch up is very unexpected, but I like it. 9. Ghost - (5/5) - This Is a very great song about how a lover kind of just leaves the relationship emotionally. She is calling him a ghost or stranger, and says she sees through him. So now she is seeing him for what he truly is now. 10. Love Me - (5/5) This is one of my favorite tracks. I love the line in the chorus. "I am going to love myself the way I want you to love me." I never thought Katy could be really emotional or deep. 11. This Moment - (4/5) This is a cool song, it is good, but not a song I play a lot. I like the message, she is saying live for today and all we have is this moment. 12. Double Rainbow - (4/5) I like the double rainbow metaphor about seeing eye to eye in a relationship. 13. By The Grace Of God - (5/5) This song is touching, and has a dark story. She talks about almost committing suicide after a failed relationship. Because I used to have those thoughts to it connected with me a lot. 14. Spiritual - (5/5) This song is one of my all time favorites. Great beat. Then the chorus just hooks you in right away. 15. It Takes Two - (3/5) Tis song has a great message, and I love how Katy is being honest by saying both partners are to blame, instead of just one. I just wish the chorus hooked me in a little more. 16. Choose Your Battles - (5/5) Tis track is really well put together and it has another great message, and I love the drum beat in this song. I at least like every track on this album in some way shape or form. There is no bad songs, which is usual on a Katy Perry album for me. I will say that eventhough this is as strong as her past albums, but what makes this album different is there is a lot of emotional meaning to majority of the songs. Where on her past albums she had a few meaningful tracks, and a bunch of dance songs.

After enjoying Katy Perry singles since 2008, I finally decided to purchase a full album. I have listened to many songs off of her previous albums. Her first album contains songs that are all very similar sounding with the same type of style. In Teenage Dream, she experiments a bit more with different sounds. In PRISM, she really explores all styles of pop, keeping the album fun, interesting, and unpredictable. Each song is not random though, there is still an overall theme to the whole album. The album is very spiritual; it is about growth, love, and acceptance. Without being too heavy, it is an album that will help you out during the difficult times. The album starts out with "Roar," the first single released off the album. It was a song that instantly caught my attention. It is both cheerful and powerful. As good of a song as it is, I feel it gets a bit annoying after a while and is not one of the stronger songs on PRISM. "Legendary Lovers" is one of my favorites. It is a song about having a really great and powerful love. It has an ancient Egyptian type of style, which is what makes the song so awesome "Birthday" is another great song. It is probably the most bubblegum-pop song on the album. It is super light-hearted, fun, and catchy. The song really boosts my mood and lifts my spirit. The lyrics are basically about pleasing your man with sex when he's having a bad day. However, it's not the type of song you listen to for the lyrics, it's the type of song you listen to when you want to dance and feel happy. "Walking on Air" has an old-school disco style to it. Similar to "Birthday," it's not the type of song you listen to for the lyrics. It is another fun and upbeat song, but just with a totally different sound and style. "Unconditionally" is another one of my favorites. This is where PRISM starts to get a little bit deeper. It is an absolutely beautiful song about pure love; no conflicts, no drama, no messiness. It is about you and your partner fully opening up to each other. This song is so wonderful because both the lyrics and sound are deep and powerful. When I first heard "Dark Horse," I thought it was a huge mess. Give this song a chance, because it really grew on me. It is probably the most different type of song Katy Perry has ever done. The beats are really neat and fun to listen to. The lyrics are about someone who loves so strongly and deeply, making a warning to others that this love will be anything but superficial. It will be so crazy and powerful that it will leave a mark on you forever. "This is How We Do" is one of the best songs on the album. The lyrics are playful and even a bit hysterical! The song is about living a fun and carefree lifestyle. It is about good times, good vibes, and great friendships. "International Smile" is probably my least favorite song on the album - maybe it needs to grow on me a little more? It's about admiring a woman who has it all. It is a good song, however there is nothing about it that makes it stand out. I think "Ghost" is my #1 favorite track on the album. This track marks the beginning of deep and heartfelt songs. This is where Katy Perry starts to pure out her soul - which I absolutely love! Similar to "Unconditionally," "Ghost" has a beautiful sound with beautiful lyrics. However, instead of celebrating love, this song is about losing love. It is something we can all relate to because we have all lost someone close to us, whether it be a lover, a friend, or a family member. The song is great because it's not sappy or self-pitying at all! The song is sad, but there is acceptance. It is about the growth and the lessons learned that come with losing love: "My vision's 20-20, I see through you now." "Love Me" is about being insecure in a relationship, but making a choice to love yourself just as much as your partner does. This song is all about self-love and self-acceptance. I love the message. "This Moment" is about learning how to live in the moment in our fast-paced lives. I love the lyrics. "Double Rainbow" is about being amazed by your partner and never wanting to lose him/her. It is slow and peaceful. "By the Grace of God" is more spiritual than religious. The verses are slow and serious, but the chorus is cheerful and up-lifting. Katy Perry opens up about how broken and tore down she felt at one point. It was the grace of God that turned her life around. "Spiritual" is another one of my favorites. The song is so peaceful, magical, and beautiful. It is about a love that makes you feel like you're in heaven. Both the lyrics and the sound are super powerful. "Spritual" would have been a great way to end the album, in my opinion. The last two tracks are great songs, but not strong enough to end PRISM with. "It Takes Two" is about admitting that there are two sides to every story and "Choose Your Battles" is about being with someone who loves to pick fights.

This is Katy Perry's third studio album, and since I loved Teenage Dream so much, it was a no-brainer to pick this one up. I went ahead and sprung for the Deluxe Edition because those are often better. Well, let's see how this album holds up: Roar (5/5) - This song is fun and uplifting, and unlike a lot of other “uplifting” songs, this one truly feels fun and empowering instead of dark and depressing. Also, it works much better lyrically than "Firework" (from Teenage Dream) did at being a motivational song. Legendary Lovers (4/5) - This song's interesting; it has got a sort of “Asian” flare to its sound, and it makes for a nice contrast to the other songs and helps it to be unique. Birthday (4/5) - I actually didn't care for this one at first, as it struck me initially as a bit bland musically, but it's really grown on me. It's a pretty obvious birthday/sex metaphor, but despite the cheesy lyrics, it's an enjoyable song regardless. Walking On Air (4/5) - This one's nice -it's quite energetic. A few lyrics are kinda corny like rhyming "erotica" with “exotica,” but its pleasant to listen to. Unconditionally (3/5) – I can't say I care much for this song. It's just okay – not terrible, not great, just okay. Dark Horse (Feat. Juicy J) (5/5) – This is probably the stand-out track on the album – it's catchy, has a unique sound compared to the other album tracks, and is just generally nice to listen to. This Is How We Do (4/5) – I like this song, too. It's not the best song ever, but it's decent and perfectly listenable. International Smile (3/5) – This song has some vapid lyrics, and generally feels a bit like a filler song - however, it's saved by the nice chorus. Ghost (4/5) – This is a tonal shift in the album since the song is a lot darker in subject matter than the previous entries. Normally, I'm not too fond of the slower songs, but this one is saved by it's catchy chorus. Love Me (3/5) - Meh, this song isn't horrible, but not very interesting either. It's like "Ghost" but without an interesting/catchy chorus to keep it afloat, so it doesn't appeal to me much. This Moment (3/5) - This one is rather dull, but not unlistenable. It really has the same problems that "Love Me" does, and doesn't really stick in my mind. Double Rainbow (4/5) – When I first saw the song title, I was really afraid that this song would be about that stupid youtube video where the guy goes "Oh, double rainbow – but what does it mean?". Thankfully, that's not the case. It's actually a rather sweet love song, and is surprisingly good. By The Grace Of God (4/5) - This song is reasonably good. It's a slower song, but builds to a strong chorus. It's a decent song, but not a must-listen for me. Spiritual (4/5) - This song's actually quite good for a slower song, and I like it just fine. It Takes Two (2/5) – I really find this song a bit grating, maybe because of the really repetitive chorus, or the fact that it feels like it goes on too long (even though it isn't particularly long in reality, it feels like it drags). Either way, I don't care for it. Choose Your Battles (4/5) - This song's actually pretty good. It's got decent energy and is a good listen. Overall Score (4/5): NOTE this score is not a mathematical average of previous scores; it’s my subjective overall score. It's too bad that this album isn't as high quality as the “Teenage Dream” album – it honestly feels like there are more "meh" songs here than there were there. This is certainly an album that's uneven in execution with the better songs towards the upper half, but it's still generally listenable all the way through, so I'm overall pleased. Her previous work, “Teenage Dream,” was certainly better (and I suggest the “Complete Confection” version of that album to get all the extra goodies), but this is a respectable effort, too. I suppose this all comes down to personal preference, as many people seem to enjoy Katy Perry's new more “mature” direction, but I don't listen to Katy Perry for poignant emotional songs – I listen to her music for fun, catchy, upbeat music, so this release didn't do as much for me. Nonetheless, it's a respectable effort, and I'd still recommend it to Katy Perry fans.

I love this addicting album. There's a lot that Katy offers including modern pop tunes, 90's and 80's influences, and many heart filled ballads. Roar 2/5 Never been a fan, and it's one of the tracks I skip on the album. Too bubblegum pop for my taste, but kids seem to love it. Legendary Lovers 5/5 One of the album's highlights and I hope it becomes a single. It has hit written all over it. Birthday 4/5 Nice fun tune. Sounds like Madonna's "Holiday." Walking On Air 5/5 Probably one of my favorite songs of Katy's. It sounds like a radio hit from 1992. Best song on the album. Unconditionally 3/5 The worst ballad on the album and I'm surprised she chose this as the second single. She's releasing all the wrong songs from this tremendous album. Dark Horse 4/5 Took awhile to grow on me, but now I can't get it out of my head. This Is How We Do 5/5 If T.G.I.F. had a sequel, this would be it. It has the same feel-good party beat and lyrics. International Smile 5/5 Catchy and very Teenage Dream. Ghost 3.5/5 Decent mid-tempo track. Love Me 5/5 Another great ballad that's very radio-friendly. This Moment 4/5 80's sounding ballad that will make you smile. Double Rainbow 5/5 Another album highlight. The best ballad she has recorded to date. By The Grace Of God 4/5 I'm not a religious person, but this beautiful ballad displays her feelings quite well. Spiritual 3/5 Another catchy 90's inspired track. It Takes Two 4.5/5 A divorce track with sad lyrics. Choose Your Battles 3/5 The final ballad that sums up the album with yet another heart-breaking theme. Sounds like a Celine Dion song. All in all, this is a great pop album. It does slow down for the final 8 tracks, giving it a well-balance listen of dance tunes and slow songs. If you loved Teenage Dream, then you'll love this as well.

. This album is better than Teenage Dream in my opinion. This is because it's more mature, That being said, I still enjoy Teenage Dream quite a lot. I'm a fan of Katy Perry's music because her voice is nice to listen to very smooth. Her music is catchy,fun, happy, and motivational. I think this album does stay true enough to her usual style in the way that her music is still motivational. For example, even her more serious tracks that are found on her album: By The Grace of God- Even in a dark place, at the end of the day, she decided she could get through it. It takes Two- She takes accountability for her actions, she is sorry it didn't work out the way she had hoped. but, you can still feel the love she had for him and their relationship within the song even if he couldn't take the same responsibility for his actions.. Some people described this album as darker but, I disagree I think it is a very positive album overall. However, That Dark Horse song would be a lot better without that awful Rap in the middle, it is inappropriate and that Jeffery Dahmer line is absolutely disgusting. She should release an alternate version without that rap especially on the deluxe format lol. In conclusion, This album is full of catchy songs that I find positive and fun to listen to, and I look forward to hearing more from Katy Perry for sure.

This is by far the best pop singer CD I ever have and def. a collection though there are some other good songs missing like ET,.... Katy is not just a singer but really an actress. After watched her prismatic tour on Amazon,I decided to buy this CD then I watched more the tour and found out how she can be so varieties the way she sings every song.... Not like other CD where there are only one-three good songs as well as the same rhythm. But not this CD though is from her tour (collection, collect most her hit) which was well produced for Song selection, staging, scene, costumes (7 sets) and I really kind of seeing 7 different Katy. Not like other singers, I only see "oh" that who and who sings different songs There is very confident strong Katy for the first set starting with Roar, then there is the sexy Katy for the Egypt style (I favorite one), then there is the cat lady......I can go on and on but I guess I need to stop. Good ending with the firework from the tour. Though she says two hours but shorter ( bc this is edited so .... Just to. Correct some other comments about not two hours. This is the tour movie. Perhaps there should be an statement at the beginning to avoid this confusion)

KATY PERRY I WILL ALWAYS LOVE U

El vinilo es precioso, el cuadro que rodea a Katy, las letras KATY PERRY y las letras PRISM brillan y cambian de color cuando les da la luz (como un prisma). Se abre y contiene dos discos separados y enfundados por una foto de Katy cada uno, y detrás las letras. Muy contento tanto como por las buenas canciones del disco (aunque no supera a Teenage Dream) como por el formato físico en vinilo.

Fantastic pricing for a good artist

Llego perfecto 🫶😎😎😎

This is a super Album,from Katie Perry 🙂😹
